Some projects we've been working on lately:  
  • Just started the Einstein Coat from Sally Melville's Knit book, in Cascade 128, in a dark grey/blue color.  It's moving quicker than I thought, it's nice and mindless, just right for some days and ... it should be done by fall.
    Felted hedgehogs, bunnies and other creatures, and the new Gelato bag - using Cascade 128, Harrisville Orchid, Cascade 220, EcoWool and other felting yarns -- quick, fun projects
  • the Easy Pie Wedge Shawl  in Heaven from Lorna's Lace - the pattern is free with Heaven and Helen's Lace - the shawl is easy to knit, addicting and looks unbelievable on everyone who's tried it on!
  • Baby Bobbi Bear with Blue Sky Cotton - he's actually become really skinny from being hugged and squeezed so often
  • a short-sleeve T-shirt with Frog Tree's Pima Cotton/Silk - not immediate gratification, but definitely worth the time
  • Sheldon the Turtle from Knitty.com in Luna (yes, there is a slight obsession with stuffed toys - my kids are only partly responsible)
  • Socks from the new Cat Bordhi book -- they look and fit great
Plus, the store has:
  • Knitting needles and crochet hooks in virtually every size created, accessories, and needle felting supplies
  • An extensive selection of knitting and crocheting books for every taste, as well as many beginner and advanced “how-to” books, and all volumes of the Barbara Walker Stitch Pattern Treasuries
  • Knitting patterns from yarn producers
  • Yarn-related craft kits
